Vote For Vince - And Response (2)

I strongly urge all my fellow Hamilton County residents to vote for Vince Dean as our next Criminal Court clerk.

Vince has shown strong leadership as state representative, and I know he will bring his responsibility and wisdom to the Criminal Court Clerk's office.

Vince has always had a passion for our community, and served 27 years with Chattanooga Police Department. We need people like Vince in our elected offices.

Please remember to vote Vince Dean for Criminal Court clerk.

I have known Vince before he became a police officer. I have watched him grow from a young teen to a great leader for the county, city of East Ridge, and the state of Tennessee, where he has served us well in all areas.

Vince is someone you can talk to without feeling he is talking down to you. He knows what it takes to be a leader, he has shown it in every position that he has held.

Vince knows about budget making, the needs of the people that will or has used Criminal Court office, and he understand the police officers needs and concern.

A vote for Vince is a vote for leadership for the people, something we have not always had from those in the court house.

I have personally known Vince Dean for over 10 years. Hamilton County needs a leader like Vince Dean. Vince has served in the 104th, 105th, 106th, 107th and 108th Tennessee House of Representatives General Assemblies. Vince has served as chairman of the House of Transportation Committee and has proven to be an effective elected official in Nashville.

Vince supports his constituents as he was instrumental in getting motorcycles added to the Lemon Law statutes.

Hamilton County needs someone like Vince Dean for Criminal Courts office and I think he is just the man for the job.

I'm trying hard to understand why there's been so little criticism on the part of conservatives and evangelicals towards a President that paid $280,000 worth of hush money to a porn star, Stormy Daniels, and a Playboy Playmate, Karen McDougal during the campaign. If this had been any other president the outrage would be constant and harsh. Where is the outrage on the ... (click for more)

Bike Lanes: There was a notice in the paper that MLK Boulevard from Georgia Avenue to Central Avenue was being reduced from four lanes to three lanes so that bike lanes could be installed. After looking at a survey on the Chattanoogan.com that showed 98 percent of the people did not want this to happen, I am trying to understand why the people in the city were not given ...

Early season prep baseball tournaments are meant for a few things; primarily competition, repetition, and learning a few things about your team over the course of a few games. The Ooltewah Owl baseball nine apparently has learned it likes collecting championship trophies in them as well. For the second year in a row, the Owls won the longstanding ... (click for more)

KNOXVILLE-- Senior center Mercedes Russell logged her 46th career double-double with 21 points and 14 rebounds to lead Tennessee, but it wasn't enough as the No. 12/13 Lady Vols (25-8) fell to No. 13/12 Oregon State (25-7) in the second round of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament. Freshman Anastasia Hayes also had a double-digit outing for the No. 3 seed Lady Vols, posting ... (click for more)
